[Imc-aotearoa-ed] hid a post // spam attack !!

[Philipa Adam]

has anyone been able to make contact with him/her? actually that is
probably not the issue.  i think the issue is how do we define these
postings? are they are a "pattern of attack"? 

one thought i keep having is (i am not quite sure how to articulate
this so apologies in advance if i offend anyone or get the wrong end
of the stick) what is the relationship between the hassle of having
to hide articles and the concept of free expression of all ideas
whether i like them or not or whether they are a nuisance or not.  

this is probably a side issue - i think it probably does come down to
defining whether this is a spam attack or if each article posted by
this individual/s should be looked at seperately.

yeah, anyway, i guess there's some thoughts.

have a good day - all

pip
